When news of the auction for Stone Forest City's private houses spread, the majority of independent players felt that the various major powers had gone mad. They had actually spent over a million Credits just to make it more convenient for one person to travel around Stone Forest City. Even if one was rich, they shouldn't spend so much money.
With so much money, they could afford to stay in a seven-star hotel.
Yet, they had actually spent so much money to rent a private house in Stone Forest City. They simply couldn't understand the world of the rich.
"Crap! They're doing this just to make it more convenient? Is there a need for these people to go so far? "
"If I own a city like this in God's Domain one day, I'll become an international tycoon."
"Hype! This is definitely hype! "
…
For a time, everyone was discussing the auction. They had even forgotten to grind and level up. Instead, they began to pay attention to the auction for Stone Forest City's private houses.
Meanwhile, aside from ordinary players, God's Domain's various major powers also realized how frightening God's Domain was for the first time after receiving news of the auction.
Ordinary players were even more shocked. In the past, most of their transactions had been conducted with Coins. Their normal expenses had also been Coins and Silver Coins. Although God's Domain wasn't very different from the real world, where one could sell Coins for Credits, it still didn't feel real.
Now, however, Stone Forest City's private houses were priced in Credits. This made everyone realize that God's Domain wasn't just a virtual reality game. It felt more like they were living in another country in the real world.
After the private houses in Stone Forest City were sold for astronomical prices, the entire Ling Yi Guild was in an uproar.
"Guild Leader, we've rented out 1,667 private houses. The lowest bid is over 600,000 Credits, while the highest bid is 1.74 billion Credits. Our total income has already exceeded two billion Credits!" A Melancholy Smile's Xiang Shifeng reported.
Originally, she had planned to rent out all of Stone Forest City's private houses. She'd be lucky if she could cover the Guild's daily expenses and retain the Lifestyle players. However, not even one-third of the houses had been completed. Yet, the income she had received had already far exceeded her expectations.
With this, not to mention retaining the Lifestyle players in the trading firm, they could even double the number of Lifestyle players in the trading firm.
Moreover, both Ling Yi's members and Candlelight's Lifestyle players were brimming with confidence in Ling Yi and Candlelight after learning about Stone Forest City's income. In fact, Advanced Lifestyle players from other large Guilds had even visited Candlelight to negotiate with Candlelight to join Candlelight.
Previously, Candlelight had indeed been considered a holy land for Lifestyle players in the Starmoon Kingdom. However, in order to retain their talents, the various large Guilds had offered much higher prices than Candlelight. This was the only reason these Advanced Lifestyle players had been able to retain their talents.
However, now that Candlelight was offering Advanced Lifestyle players a guaranteed minimum Credits, the various large Guilds' Advanced Lifestyle players and independent Lifestyle players couldn't sit still.
A guaranteed minimum monthly salary of 20,000 Credits was an unimaginable amount for ordinary people.
In other words, as long as they became Candlelight's Advanced Lifestyle players, they wouldn't have to work at all. They could even do whatever they liked. If they could become a Master Lifestyle player, they would receive a guaranteed monthly salary of 100,000 Credits. That would be awesome.
In just a short moment, Candlelight had received over 600 applications from Advanced Lifestyle players, every one of them hoping to join Ling Yi. Five Master Lifestyle players had also contacted Candlelight. Candlelight's development wasn't a problem at all.
"I've really underestimated these Guilds and adventurer teams' desire for Stone Forest City." Shifeng could not help his surprise when he heard Shi Feng's report.
Although he had long since known that the auction's price would exceed the 50,000 Credits it had received at its peak in the past, after all, Stone Forest City had entered the Bottomless Abyss far too early. In fact, the city hadn't even had a single competitor. It wasn't surprising that the auction's price would exceed the previous price. However, he had never imagined that it would exceed the previous price by this much.
However, after giving the matter some thought, he found it reasonable.
At this stage of the game, the Bottomless Abyss was the best place for players to train. At the same time, the Bottomless Abyss was filled with treasures. It was definitely one of God's Domain's most advanced maps.
Training, leveling up, and treasures were all top-notch in God's Domain. Naturally, expert players would go crazy over these three factors. The various large Guilds' peak experts were even more excited.
With such a good opportunity to seize the initiative, the various large Guilds' peak experts wouldn't even bat an eyelid if the price was two million Credits, much less one million. After all, if they were lucky, they could seize the initiative or become stronger than others. The profits they could reap from such an opportunity would be far greater than one or two million Credits.
"Guild Leader, at this rate, it'll take less than four hours to rent out all 3,000 units. With this amount of money, Starlink won't be able to poach any of our members," A Melancholy Smile said confidently.
Starlink might be able to offer a higher price to poach players, but Candlelight could do the same with the current price. Once Candlelight's income increased, it could maintain Candlelight's current scale. In fact, it might even grow. At this rate, even Starlink couldn't afford to lose money.
"No! We won't rent out 3,000 units today. We'll only rent out 2,000 units. Afterward, we'll rent out 1,000 units every day, "Shifeng said, chuckling as he shook his head.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Now that this was a rare opportunity, they'd most likely struggle to rent out the units at the current price next month. Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make as much money as possible. Moreover, no one knew about the benefits of Stone Forest City's private houses yet.
Currently, two billion Credits was more than enough to resolve Candlelight and Ling Yi's crisis. Naturally, a few more days wouldn't make much of a difference. Moreover, he wanted to open his own training center in Fenglin City, which would require a large sum of Credits.
Originally, he had planned to wait until Stone Forest City had constructed more private houses and Shops before raising the funds. Now, however, it seemed that he only needed to complete the first phase of the private houses to secure the necessary funds.
"Rent out 2,000 units first? I'll give the order right away, "A Melancholy Smile said, immediately contacting Candlelight's various representatives.
Shortly after the representatives issued the order, all 2,000 private houses were rented out.
"Everyone, today's rental slots have all been rented out. Please come back tomorrow," the excited host announced regretfully.
For a time, the venue erupted into an uproar.
"What's going on? Why are there no more? "
"Crap! How many units have been rented out? Why are there no more? "
"That's why I'm taking action? They're not even giving us a chance to make a move? "
The various major powers in the auction hall were furious. Many of the powers that had originally planned to wait until the various large Guilds had bought enough Magic Stones to rent the Magic Stones at a cheaper price. Yet, in the end, things had turned out this way.
"Tian Tong, you're too crazy today. Let's come back in a few days. We won't stand a chance against those major powers' experts. Once they've digested most of the private houses, it'll be much cheaper for you to rent them," a Level 56 female Cleric advised Tian Tong.
"I understand." Tian Tong nodded.
A few days ago, the private houses would be abnormally popular. Once most of the private houses had digested, their prices would naturally fall. She didn't mind leveling up a few days later.
Following which, the players in the venue returned to their rooms. The various major powers also left players behind to report Candlelight's situation and wait for news regarding Candlelight's private houses.
